December 22, 2013 at 7:10 pmI do not have any recent stories or memories of my Uncle Ricky. I can share that I loved him. He was always kind to me, and I always knew that he loved my Dad, his bother. I believe Ricky is in a much better place, and enjoying not being in a wheel-chair anymore. My condolences to all his family and loved ones.

I’ve been thinking about when we were kids and the few precious years we had together before our lives took us in separate directions, I always knew you were there. I love and will miss you but I know someday I will see you again.
